Yes, time for another little box: Y and Z... Not an easy one, but Zinnia looked like the thing to me. Such a pretty flower. Not sure I got it quite right but I did try!
There's a good tutorial here if you are interested in the special stitch (which I think is called spider stitch).
Have a relaxing weekend!

Ooops! busy weekend here so I am a little late with the SAL update. Box number 8 and three letters that kept me thinking for a while. In the end I went for the simplest choice: V for vase. But I added a little treat, a variety of the feather stitch, which I find very sweet. I am loving experimenting with these specialty stitches so I guess you will soon see more of them.

I am really enjoying my new adventure in doll making. I am far from having finished this little one, but at least she now has hair and some underwear. Hopefully, she will soon have a pretty dress and shoes too!

It's time to add another box to our SAL. Part7 was a tricky one: S, T, U... scissors, threads, umbrella? This being April, umbrella seemed a good idea (you know, April showers and all that...) but in the end I decided for Threads. More colorful and a better match for the needle in Part5 :D

I also wished to share a new project. New in more than one sense actually as I have never tried doll-making before. I bought this kit some time ago. I have always been fascinated by dress making and starting from something small seemed a good idea. So far the most difficult part has been enlarging the patterns and cutting them. The amount of fabric in the kit was very limited so it took me a while to figure out the best combination but the rest was fun. Now she needs hair and a pretty face. Then I will work on her dress. Looking forward to it. A girl never really grows out of dolls...!
